The New Brighton Boat Ramp provides access to the Beaver River in New Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Located at the intersection of 21st Street and River Road, this access point is situated below the Townsend Dam. The ramp serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this section of the Beaver River. The facility is dedicated to local soldier Allan Bevington, honoring his memory and fulfilling his dream of creating improved river access for the community.
Paddlers can enter the water directly from the ramp, which is convenient for launching kayaks and canoes. The area is also accessible through nearby tunnel access points at Eighth and Eleventh Streets off Second Avenue if you're exploring the adjacent New Brighton Fishing Park. This section of the Beaver River is known as a productive fishing area, making it a popular destination for both anglers and recreational paddlers. Be aware of the dam upstream and plan your route accordingly. A boat cart may be useful for transporting gear, especially if launching from alternate access points.
